Maria was on the edge of the bed, crying hysterically. Her future husband rapedher. She tried to hard not to make sobbing noise, but one would escape every now and then; she was just so afraid that he would do something more to her if he caught her crying. She couldn't help but think about Jeff… he would kill Randy, as much as Maria would love that, the last thing that she does want is Jeff in prison for life. She sighed… then she started to remember what Jeff had said to the previous day.

"We could run away together."

Maria starred at him, then blinked. His expression was serious, so she knew he wasn't kidding. "Jeff, I don't know..."

"Okay, you love me... right?"

"Jeff, of course." She grabbed his hand. "I always have."

"And I love you... and we both want to marry one another right? Then just run away with me, we can get married and you'll never have to worry about any of this ever again. We can have a family and just live happily ever after."

"That sounds nice but I just can't up and leave my family like that... It's risky."

Jeff sighed. "Please, Ria... take this risk with me."

She took a deep breath and decided what she was going to do. She wiped the tears away and rubbed her eyes, and then she rolled over and rested on Randy's chest.

"Finally decided to let me in?" Randy asked, Maria realized that he sounded very hopeful.

She nodded her head. "Oh yeah, I realized that you're so much better then Jeff… you would really treat me good, get me everything a wanted… and you can really satisfy my needs…" She purred, running her fingertips up and down Randy's torso.

Randy grinned. "I knew you would."

"I'm glad I did." She paused. "I have to be at work in an hour… can you take me home?"

"You won't have to work since you're with me…"

Maria smiled playfully. "Yeah, but we're not married yet." She winked.

Randy drove Maria back to her house quickly, she made him rush so she could be to work on time. He offered to just drive her straight to work but she told him that her work clothes were at her house.

"Bye Randy." Maria said, she kissed his cheek then got out of the car.

"Bye Ria." She waved at him until he was out of sight. Maria walked up to the front porch , and sat down. She sighed and buried her face into her hands… she remained like that for a few moments… but then she finally went inside of her house. She sprinted up into her room and called her work and told them that she was quitting.

After she hung up the phone she grabbed a pair of pajamas, and two outfits. She threw the PJ's and one outfit into a black bag that Jeff had painted on then put the other outfit on. Then she grabbed her phone and threw it in her bag, and then she got her keys and sprinted down the stairs. She stood on the porch for a brief moment and texted her mom and told her that she was sleeping over Amy's house. She ran over to her car and got inside. She threw her bag into the passenger seat then she drove as fast as possible to Jeff's house.

She violently turned into Jeff's drive way then parked the car. She grabbed her bag then sprinted up to Jeff's door way, she knocked really hard and she kept screaming 'Jeff!' over and over. After a few moments of knocking and screaming continuously Jeff finally opened the door.

"Jeff!" She cried, she threw her arms around him and cried into his shirt. He patted her back softly, then wrapped his arms around her.

"What's wrong baby girl?" He asked. He picked her up then closed the door. He walked over to the couch and sat down with Maria sitting on his lap.

She sighed, then wiped a few tears away. "I want to leave."

Jeff's eyes bugged out in surprise. He couldn't believe Maria actually wanted to do this. She was more of the play-by-the-rules kind of person, while Jeff was up for anything. So those words were music to his ears. "Really?"

She nodded. "I hate Randy… I hate him so much, and I love you. I had to lie to him so he would bring me home… I pretended that I was starting to love him because if I didn't he would have kept me at his hell house forever."

Jeff listened but he didn't really understand. "You were at Randy's house?"

Maria nodded again. "Yeah, he took me out after to left… for lunch and stuff yesterday then he took me to his house and he…" She paused… she didn't wanna tell him that he raped her because she didn't want the man she loved in jail. "kept me there." She told him.

Jeff hugged her again. "I'm sorry Ria."

"It's not your fault." Things got quite for a moment. "I wanna leave tonight."

Jeff looked down at her. "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive." She assured him. "I'm ready to take this risk." Jeff smiled, then started to think of a plan for tonight.
